ARTICLE Application filed February This invention relates generally to vimprovements in toilet accessories and has particular reference to a holder for various kinds of toilet articles.

An object of the invention is to provide an improved holder wherein the sections thereof may be folded into compact form when not in use, with the toilet articles securely held therebetween, and wherein said sections may be relatively adjusted to enable the holder to be suspended from a wall or the like with one of the sections affordin a support or shelf for said toilet articles and the other section positioned so that amirror which may be carried thereby can be utilized.

Another object is the provision of an article holder of simple and practical construction and of attractive appearance which will form a useful and convenient addition to a travelling outfit.

The above and other objects will appear more clearly from the folowing detailed description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, which illustrates apreferred embodiment of the inventive idea.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a front elevation of the holder shown in open position;

Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof with the cover section shown in its closed position in dotted lines; and

Figure 3 is a top plan view of the holder.

Referring more particularly to the accompanying drawing, the holder is shown as consisting of a lower section 4 and upper section 5 hingedly connected at 6 by means of curved brackets 7 and 8 extending from adjacent edges of the sections. The brackets 7 and 8 are provided with cooperating lugs 9 adapted to engage each other when the holder is opened to supportthe section 5 in a plane at right angles to the section 4.

The sections 4 and 5 are similarly shaped, both being preferably flat and rectangular in formation. The lower section 4 forms a support for various kinds of toilet articles.- As shown in the drawing, there is secured centrally of the section 4 a cylindrical carrier 10 open at its top to receive and support a receptacle 11 which may be utilized as a soap dish for shaving purposes. Also secured to the section 4 forwardly of the carrier 10 is a brush-holder 12 designed to receive the shank of a shaving-brush 13 to HOLDER.

retain the latter in position on the section. It will, of course, be understood that the holder of the present invention may be uti-- 10 and thus provide a means for retaining said receptacle in proper relation to the carrier regardless of the position of the holder. V

The cover section is preferably provided with a mirror 14 which may be mounted in position in any suitable manner such as that illustrated in Patent No. 1,540,202, dated June 2, 1925. When in use the section 5 may be swung to the full-line position shown in the drawing and the holder suspended from any suitable support by means of a combined supporting and latching member 15, preferably in the form of a V- shaped hasp pivoted at its ends to the front edge of the section 5. In this position the. toilet articles may be conveniently handled and the person employing the same may utilize the mirror 14. l/Vhen the cover section is moved to its folded or closed position the bight portion of the hasp 15 may be engaged with a stud 16 carried by the forward edge of the section 4 and thus releasably retain the cover section in engagement with the receptacle 11. Should the supporting section carry brushes or any other type of toilet articles, the brackets 7 and 8 are so proportioned that the section 5 of the holder will rest upon such articles when the section is in closed position and thereby securely retain the articles against accidental displacement.

\Vhat is claimed is:

1. A holder for toilet articles and the like, including hingedly connected and fiat sections relatively movable to open and closed positions and held in spaced relation from each other in said positions by the connections therebetween, one of said sections in each of its positions providing a support for articles, and the other section,

when in closed position, combining with the first named section to retain said articles therebetween and to form a holder having open sides.

2. A holder like, including hingedly connected and flat sections relatively movable to open and closed positions and held in spaced relation from each other in said positions by the connections there-between, one of said sections in GilOll'Of its positions providing a support for articles, and the other section,

for toilet articles and the when inclosed position, combining with the first named section to retain said articles therebetween and to form a holder having open sides, and a combined supporting and latching member carried by one section and capable of connection to the other section for retaining said sections in closed position and providing means for suspending said holder for support When the sections are opened.
